    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Medical Device Development
    • Pediatric Cardiology

    Background:

    • Transposition of the great vessels requires surgical intervention, often involving complex procedures like the atrial switch.
    • Accurate pressure control is critical during cardiovascular surgeries to manage patient hemodynamics.
    • Existing occlusive devices may face limitations in high-pressure environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel hydraulic occluder system.
    • To assess the device's capability to withstand and maintain high pressures relevant to cardiovascular surgery.
    • To determine the suitability of the modified hydraulic occluder for procedures such as the atrial switch in patients with transposition of the great vessels.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a hydraulic occluder with percutaneous adjustment via a subcutaneous reservoir.

  • Modification of the occluder band to withstand arterial pressures.
  • Testing the device under conditions simulating aortic banding procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified hydraulic occluder demonstrated the ability to withstand high pressures.
    • The device successfully maintained consistent pressure levels in simulated systemic circulation.
    • Data support the occluder's suitability for high-pressure cardiovascular applications.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed hydraulic occluder is a promising device for cardiovascular interventions.
    • Its design allows for precise, percutaneous adjustment and robust pressure management.
    • This technology may enhance the safety and efficacy of surgical procedures requiring controlled vascular occlusion.
